Pantogar® capsules
Convincing results
The effectiveness and good tolerability of Pantogar® capsules has been proven in comprehensive scientific studies.1-3
Scientifically proven efficacy
A meta-analysis (evaluation of several studies) of Pantogar® capsules, which comprises the results of 11 scientific studies involving a total of over 1,600 patients, proves the effectiveness of treatment with this combination of active ingredients for diffuse hair loss.

Studies involving Pantogar®
At a dermatology conference in 2012, dermatologist Dr. med. Andreas Finner (Berlin) presented results of a study on the use of a combination of the active ingredients cystine, thiamine, calcium panthothenate and medicinal yeast in women with diffuse hair loss. This meta-analysis comprises the results of 11 scientific studies involving a total of over 1,600 patients and proves the effectiveness of treatment with this combination of active ingredients for diffuse hair loss.

The studies incorporated into this meta-analysis include the following
In a clinical and blinded* study of 30 otherwise healthy women, Lengg and colleagues investigated the effect of a product containing a combination of the active ingredients cystine, thiamine, calcium panthothenate and medicinal yeast for the treatment of diffuse hair loss. Taking the active ingredient medication for 6 months led to a normalisation of the number of hairs that were in the growth phase (anagen hair rate) and improved the overall impression of the hair status4.
Another clinical and blinded* study by Budde and colleagues of 72 patients showed an increase in the number of hairs in the growth phase (anagen hair rate) in the group treated with a combination of cystine, thiamine, calcium panthothenate and medicinal yeast after just 4 months. Furthermore, the hair quality improved under this combination and at the same time the therapy was well tolerated5.
In a multicentre observational study by Thomas Bergner, 1,194 patients with diffuse hair loss and 642 patients with nail growth disorders were studied. After 3-6 months of use, the therapeutic effect on hair loss and nail growth was assessed as good or very good by doctors and patients in 87-90% of the cases. The therapy reduced the number of hairs falling out daily to a normal level (80-100 hairs)6.
Millions of satisfied women speak for themselves
For us, however, another confirmation of its efficacy is at least as important: Pantogar® has already impressed and convinced millions of women worldwide.
An extensive survey has shown that the treatment results of Pantogar® capsules significantly exceeded the expectations of women.**
70% of all affected women indicate that the success of the Pantogar® treatment significantly exceeded their expectations. Some of these women have told us their personal experience so that other patients can also benefit from the right treatment without unnecessary detours.
* Explanation of “blinded”: In this study, neither the doctor nor the patient knew which patients were administered the medication containing the active ingredient
